The Last Week of School Will Soon Be Here

It's hard to believe that the school year is almost over!  It seems like just yesterday we were getting acquainted with the students at open house and now they are almost middle schoolers!  It has been fantastic working with you and your children this year.  Thank you for helping make this year so enjoyable and memorable!  It has been a pleasure getting to know your children.  As we finish the school year, below are some of the final projects, events, and highlights of the fifth grade year. 

Monday, May 21st ~ Flag Raising Chapel for 3rd-5th Grades, Yearbook Signing at 11, & Social Studies Test

Field Day

On Tuesday, May 22nd grades three through five will have Field Day from 9-11.  Parents are invited to participate in games from 11-11:30 and then to join their children for a picnic lunch on the field at 11:30.  We hope to see you at 11 on Tuesday!  Parents are encouraged to bring a lunch with them, but students will still be able to order a lunch from the cafeteria.

Southmoreland Park

The  third, fourth and fifth grades will be walking to Southmoreland Park on Thursday, May 24.

Southmoreland Park is within 15 minutes walking from St. Paul’s School, between Warwick and Oak Street, and adjacent to the Nelson-Atkins Museum . 

We will leave the school at 11:30 and return to school by 2 PM. 

At the park we will enjoy each others’ company as we have lunch and play games.  If your child did not order a sack lunch from the cafeteria, they will need to bring a lunch from home on the last day.

Summer Reading

The summer reading assignment for students entering sixth grade consists of reading three books, one of which is assigned and provided by the school, and completing three book reports.  These book reports will be the first grade in sixth grade reading.  For more information about this assignment please visit the Middle School summer reading section of the library blog.  We will be going over this assignment in depth on Tuesday, May 22nd.
